[QUOTE="Farmer Fin, post: 6764282, member: 110232"] Yep. Unfortunately we have no fences, water trough, etc and more importantly no suitable sheds for winter housing. With the cost to set up the infrastructure and purchase stock I would never see a decent return, compared to arable. I know people will jump with single wire, moveable troughs etc which yes would be doable, but with the best will in the world we couldn’t get away will less than 3 month housing and we would just make way to much damage on our soils out wintering. Also I like my weekends to myself! I have looked it long and hard since I got home, but I just can’t get the numbers to stack up. If you guys were out would you go back in? Plus it’s much easier being a keyboard expert ? [/QUOTE]
